Gorgeous Spacious Apartment, Amazing View

We had a wonderful holiday at Andromeda apartment in Rapallo. First off the pictures don't even do the apartment justice as it is very big, clean and spacious with all the necessary utensils and amenities that you would need.

The other huge convenience is right in front of the apartment are steps that take you down into the gorgeous town of Santa Margherita. It is a hike getting back up but a good way to work off all the beautiful food you indulge in during your stay.

Bruno and Paola were very attentive and responsive hosts.

Lastly the views and front garden are magical. It's a great place to take in the view, kick back and relax at the end of the day after being in the midst of what is down below.More

The view from the apartment is absolutely wonderful! The apartment was nice and roomy, whereby the living room can be divided into two rooms (which is how it can sleep six). Everything was as it should be, i.e., it was clean and practical.

There was a small garden attached, which we did not use that much; we usually spent the mornings on the balcony accessible from the kitchen and evenings on the balconies accessible from the living room and from one of the bedrooms (the view of Santa Margherita is incredible).

The beds were comfortable, and the amenities of the apartment were appropriate: remember to bring dishwashing liquid/tabs and laundry soap for the washing machine. The coffee maker is a Moka Pot, i.e., a type of coffee percolator (which I love using but one needs to know how they work).

The location allowed great access to both Rapallo, which I would suggest using a car to reach, and Santa Margherita, which is accessible within a few minutes on foot via a long set of stairs right downtown (take into account the long hike back up the stairs to get back home) or by car.

Mr. Sacchi (Bruno) was very friendly and forthcoming—the list he provided with information about the area was very particularly helpful, as was "Mrs. Paola", who was responsible for the house itself and was quick to resolve a minor issue that we had. The whole process of renting and returning the apartment from Bruno couldn't have been easier.

I can definitely recommend this apartment as a base point to explore the whole area along the Ligurian coast, including the charming towns of Portofino, Comogli, Sestri Levante, Cinque Terre, etc. We had a great time!

A perfect and strategic position to visit the area of Portofino and 5terre! The villa is really comfortable abd the view from the garden and from most of the windows is amazing! You can reach Santa Margherita walking, challenging but rewarding! Bruno is a great host, strongly recommended!
